Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 309: Victory can be known, but cannot be done
Netizens don’t have much memory, and media practitioners don’t have much memory, but they still have some.

This major event that caused a sensation in the entire online gaming industry was ignored by Blizzard as it pretended to be dead. They have been paying attention to the follow-up progress of this matter.

Huang Tian lived up to his hard work, and the persistence of these people was rewarded.

In the past two days, rumors have circulated on the Internet that Blizzard bowed its head and admitted guilt and paid compensation to Century Interactive Entertainment.

Many media reporters got wind of this and went to investigate and collect evidence. These people still have some skills and are disclosing more and more information.

"Miraculous Reversal, Great Reconciliation of the Century": "According to our reporter's investigation and evidence collection, Century Interactive Entertainment has withdrawn all lawsuits against Blizzard. The reasons behind it are intriguing."

" million US dollars in compensation, Blizzard bows its head and admits defeat": "This newspaper received information from Century Interactive Entertainment insiders saying that Blizzard has voluntarily admitted defeat and has paid more than million US dollars in compensation, just to pave the way for the upcoming public beta of World of Warcraft."

"It is rumored that there is a big boss mediating behind the Blizzard of the Century incident": "According to sources in the DPRK and China, in order to maintain the overall stability of China's foreign relations and not want to cause too much trouble, in the end both sides will fight fifty times each, and the grievances will be cleared."

"The may become the biggest winner": "The reporter learned from my uncle Dang that The's agent for World of Warcraft is expected to meet with everyone in advance."

Various unreliable and unreliable news spread like wildfire, but the overall trend of reports is gradually moving closer to the view that Blizzard admits its fault and pays compensation, and Century Interactive Entertainment achieves the final victory.

This rare situation of a large foreign company bowing its head to a domestic company and admitting its mistake can in itself arouse the enthusiasm of the public and Yourongyan, and once again arouse a wave of heated discussions among netizens and players.

"Why is Blizzard no longer awesome? Keep pretending to be dead."

"Nowadays, the news on the Internet is true and false. Those who believe these reporters might as well believe that I am the reincarnation of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. Maybe Century Interactive Entertainment has taken the initiative to cancel it because it feels that there is no need to delay it. It is a thankless waste of money and effort."

"The identity of the person upstairs is suspicious. It would be best if the relevant departments can find out the details."

"Century Interactive Entertainment is so awesome that it's over. Even the gringos have admitted defeat."

"The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains"

"Guys upstairs, please don't be too optimistic. It seems that Century Interactive Entertainment has won. When World of Warcraft comes into public beta, the market share of World of Martial Arts will inevitably be squeezed. The final result is really hard to say."

"If you ask me, Jiucheng is the son of luck. It's really unbelievable. I just sat there and watched the clouds rise and fall. Suddenly, I became the biggest beneficiary."

"Warcraft wants fire."

"Warcraft will be cool, martial arts will be hot!"

On the Ninetowns side, Zhu Jun also read the latest online reports and comments and smiled incredulously.

Blizzard wouldn't say such a thing, and he didn't dare to say it. Chen Hao didn't secretly say that he didn't believe it in the first place.

However, Zhu Jun has no time to care about this. Now that he has strong soldiers and horses, and enough food and grass, he will rectify his troops and horses at all costs in order to send troops to fight against the thieves as soon as possible.

With hundreds of millions of dollars in capital, there was a lot more space to move around. Computer rooms were rented across the country, and servers were shipped from Blizzard in groups.

With the support of Blizzard's professional team, program debugging is progressing at a gratifying rate.

At least Chen Hao is a real villain. The translation materials have been unanimously recognized by their professional translation team. The quality is quite high and can be used immediately, saving a lot of time.The rest is promotion and warm-up. Seeing the success of Century Interactive Entertainment's co-branding promotion strategy, Zhu Jun followed suit. Since Coke was no longer available, he approached Adidas and Nike to discuss co-branding.

As for the spokesperson, he hasn't decided yet.
However, at this pace, it is expected that World of Warcraft will be ready for testing in less than two months, which is more than half the speed of the original plan.

Zhu Jun held a meeting with all parties to check the progress, and reported to Blizzard after getting approval.

Ninetowns official website announced that World of Warcraft is scheduled to launch a closed beta on May 5, and the public beta will be on June 18.

This good news has made the online World of Warcraft players who have been waiting for a long time extremely happy.

"In the past, those who were good at fighting were invincible first, waiting for the enemy to be victorious. The invincible lies in oneself, and the victorious lies in the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting can be invincible, and they cannot make the enemy victorious. Therefore, it is said: Victory can be known , but cannot do it." - From the Form Chapter of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.

After Chen Hao released the news, he didn't care about the follow-up and let it develop.

Recently, he studied under the eldest brother of the Gao family and began to study "Sun Tzu's Art of War". He felt that this paragraph was written into his heart, and he felt like he was enlightened.

The ancients were truly men of great wisdom.

Now he is focused on making the martial arts world bigger and stronger, taking advantage of the fact that World of Warcraft has not yet been released to the public beta, firmly occupying the first-mover advantage and seizing the territory.

First make sure that we cannot be defeated by the enemy, and then wait for the opportunity when the enemy can be defeated by us.

Ensuring that you cannot be defeated depends on your own subjective efforts, while whether the enemy can be defeated depends on whether the enemy makes mistakes, which cannot be determined subjectively by us.

In the past two days, Chen Hao has been running to Tianxuan Studio from time to time, planning with Xu Changlong and a group of planners.

From determining the direction of the subsequent iterations of the game engine, analyzing and sorting out the problems that occurred in the internal beta of the martial arts world, to planning the subsequent content and the rhythm of version expansion pack updates, we have gone through everything.

Then he called on Li Wu, Tianxuan and the relevant personnel from the marketing department. Chen Hao used the outline and leadership to formulate the next promotion plan. The promotion plan is planned to last for one year!
Of course, this is just one of the key businesses.

Another key point is Hero Glory. Xu Peiliang gave him a version of the game plan a year ago, and Chen Hao made some suggestions.

Chen Hao called Xu Peiliang over, and the two went over the final draft. Chen Hao surprisingly had no comments this time.

Just like the world of martial arts, the team can only grow if you try first, realize it, and then continue trial and error. After all, he can't teach you step by step. First, he has no energy, and second, he has no obligation.

The current timeline for Heroes of Glory seems to be several years earlier than the timeline in his memory, so there is plenty of time, and he has the capital to allow the team to polish and experience in the process, and become a poem in every battle.

He only grasps one principle and is responsible for the entrance and exit. The entrance is to establish the framework and key nodes, and the rest is left to the people below to play on their own; the exit is to check and accept. As long as he is not satisfied, he will change it and leave it to him. Until satisfied.

So everything had to be explained in concrete terms, and Xu Peiliang and the others were asked to make a demo first and then talk about it, otherwise everything would be a castle in the air. They made an appointment to come with the demo in 2 months.

February has passed in such a busy time. Ever since Chen Hao and Lin Xiaoran returned to Beijing after their wedding, they have not been idle.

The promised honeymoon trip can only be put on hold temporarily. Xiaoran also understands that career is the most important thing for a man. The most important thing is that not only Chen Hao will be busy after the new year, but also classmate Xiaoran, who is the head of the finance department, will be very busy.
In view of the fact that they are still in the stage of career struggle in the past two years, the couple decided not to rush to have a baby now, but to wait for two years.
